Syracuse plummeted out of the top 25 today. The Orange went from No. 24 to No. 34, receiving just six votes in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll.

In the AP poll, Syracuse, which was No. 25 last week, did not receive a single vote.

Also in the AP, the Big East has five teams in the top 25. Connecticut remains No. 1, with Villanova (4), Pittsburgh (9), West Virginia (11) and Georgetown (17) not far behind. Last week, the league set a record with seven teams in the top 25 but Syracuse and Louisville fell out of the poll this week.

By the way, last night on ESPN Jim Boeheim's bosom buddy, Doug Gottlieb, said SU was not an NCAA Tournament team.
